Subject: [PATCH] net: 80003es2lan: fix a missing check of read failure

When e1000_read_kmrn_reg_80003es2lan() fails, "kum_reg_data" is
uninitialized and may contain random value. However, it is further
used in the following execution, which will lead to undefined
behaviors.
The fix checks the failure of e1000_read_kmrn_reg_80003es2lan() and
returns with its error code if it fails.
